no use for tho Champions of England!
II is our impression that for the past
ten years more than one variety that
has "come to stay" has been added to
our lists each year. Still the proper
ton of varieties of real value, to the
whole number offered, remains very
small BY perusal of the foreign
journals, and consultation of the
European catalogues Qor strangely
enough the great majority of new
vegetables come from abroad). we find
that but few of those offered abroad
are ever heard of in this country. Our
scedsmen know that it is of little use
to offer new Broccoli. new Vege-

THE TWO GOVERNORS.

Since the days of Republican
misrule in Texas, brought to
a happy end when John Ireland,
in the face of Davis MALTA and
his effort to overthrow the election
by the people, declared that"the
Senate would remain in session
untilthe rightful governor ofTexas,
Richard Coke, should be duly in
augurated'--a he was-there has
been no more trying times in the
administration OF state affairs than
the past four years. Conflicts be-
tween stockmen and settlers, fence
cutting, followed by equally as
serious and troublous conflict be-
tween railway corporations and
their employers-where is the
man in Texas who could have
been frmer yet prudent and con-
scientious under such trying cir
cumstances, and come out of it
with the respect, confidence and
admiration of the representative
men of both parties in each of the
class conflicts? But during these
four years of administration, Gov.
Ireland bas not pleased every
man, Where is the mortal who
could have done so? There are
some who failed to use him, and
they are his political enemies.
But what the HERALD started out
to refer to was the singular fact
that many Of these opponents crit
icised and condemned John Ire
land, and yet so enthusiastically
the views of Gov. Ross,
while there is comparatively no
in the views of the one
expressed in his retiring message
and the policy of the other as set
fourth in his first message to the
Legislature. Both recommend
legislation by the state Legislature
for the regulation of railways,
that the State rather than
the Union has the authority to do
this. Both recommended the es-
adjustment of reformatory for
youthful convicts, and the work
ing of convicts within the walls so
far as practicable, the remainder
on farms Roth favor classifica-
ton of school lands into grazing
and agricultural districts, and
sales given preference over leases,
and abolition of the Land Board.
There are many other similarities,
and no antagonism which shows
that both the retiring and incom-
ing governor know the wants Of
the people, the needs of the state,
and both have those interests at
heart.

Suggestions in Relation to the
Farm and Kindred Topics.
Over Estimates in Poultry.

Because poultry is claimed to pay
large profits in proportion to the
amounts invested therein, it does not
follow that all who venture in the poul-
try business will get rich or make
money. 1t requires capital to conduct
great enterprises, and if large amounts
are expected, large sums must be in
vested. 1t is a mistake TO mislead per-
sons into the belief that there are enor-
nous profits in poultry. But few per-
sons have large sums invested, and a
test has never yet been made rs to what
could really be accomplished. Those
who succeed know that it is the man or
woman, and not always the BIRDS. that
make success. Like any other business,
one must thoroughly understand it
Keeping few ilocks of fowls, and VEN
turing upon the management of thous-
ands, are different operations. A small
flock can be well kept where thousands
could not exist. Yet there arc no i'm
possibilities, and as we progress in the
art of poultry raising, the business be-
comes easier and more perfectly under

Value of Roots.

The chief point of excellence claimed
for roots is. that they supply the amount
of. water which all animals need when
ON dry feed, in moderate and gradu-
al way. If cut or pulped and mixed
with bran, oats or mill-feed, they fur
nsh soft, semi-liquid mass, which
does not irritate the coats. of the stom-
ach, and does not overload it or dilute
its solvent juices as copious draught
OF cold water taken all at once would
be apt to do. There is force in this ar
gument Sheep ought to be compelled,
as much as possible, to eat the food
dry, as the saliva thereby secreted and
mingled with it is of far more efficacy
in assisting the stomach in digestion
than any juice of roots, or any other
moisture could be; still, 1t is undoubt-
edly injurious to the sheep to be obliged
to drink at one time all the water it
requires in twenty-four hours, especial
ly if it is ice-cold.
Roots are not 80 necessary for Merl-
nos rs they are for the mutton-breeds;
they are principally useful for ewes
when giving milk, and for short per-
iod before they begin. Sugar-beets,
mangels, ruta-bagas, yellow turnips,
and white turnips, are valuable in the
order in which they are here given.

The Columbus Citizen having
received copy of Beach e. Nc
Cullough's ''Liberator," the mot
to or aim of which is the "aboli-
ton of rent, profit and interest, !"
thinks that for little paper it
has ''bit off more than it can
chew" The HERALD admires the
"spunk" of the Liberator and
hopes it may succeed; and when
it does we will conclude that
the men we've been sending to the
Legislature and Congress are set
of fools. If it wasn't for the mon
ey we pay for rent and work, we
could soon get rich. By the way,
when rent and interest are put
among the things of the past, the
next step will be to secure free
labor. Then will all be happy.

Needs of Our Cattle Industry.

Nceus OF our tuttle lnuustTy.
What is most essential TO the renew
ed prosperity of the cattle business is a
widely-increased consumption, not
alone of western dressed meats in the
east, or heavier shipments for abroad,
but all along the line; more local pro-
duction, less speculation, and adrawing
together of the producer and the con-
sumner. As yet the quality Of the beef
cattle all over the land is far below
what il might be, but the opinion pre-
walls and grows that good beef pays
best to the producer. Formerly beef
was not questioned. whether it was the
sinewy product of the hot plains or the
Southwest or the coarse, muscular
fibre Of the western ranges. or, yet
again, the well-marbled. Juicy flesh Of
high grade beasts, bred in the Blue
grass Regions, and born to Incidence
and adipose. Within recent years the
wonderful lands of Montana-the sum-
mer home Of the bison-have become
covered with cattle. and in Montana
the best beef on this continent can be
eaten. This super-excellent product is,
however, only available for few
months Of the year. When the herds
on these lofty ranges come out strong
in the spring. good beef is produced
early, and 1t will last far in the fohow-
ing October, nourished alone On the
natural grasses.
